Getting back on-topic regarding the popularity of SDCC...Just out of curiosity, has anyone read or heard about Rob Salkowitz's book Comic-Con and the Business of Pop Culture: What the World’s Wildest Trade Show Can Tell Us About the Future of Entertainment? (I just heard of it myself while I was searching away on Amazon, but I might be curious enough to read it, ha ha. XD)There are a few pages of excerpts on the Amazon website as well, if anyone is interested in checking it out: You are not allowed to view links. Register or LoginSummary from Amazon:
HBO is out. Lot of no-shows at SDCC this year. I know most have stated that the reason they're skipping is either because of production schedules or nothing to show but I think we may be seeing the beginning of the end of the media behemoth SDCC is/was.
I’m not panicking... yet.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Has there been any word whether Nathan Fillion will be promoting The Rookie at SDCC this year? It’s not a geek oriented show, but that didn’t stop ABC from promoting Castle at the Con in the past.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
GoT was always iffy this year because of the production schedule. Westworld is a disappointment though. However, one of the best SDCCs for me was 2011 when there was no Marvel and the Saturday Hall H highlight was Snow White and the Huntsmsn
I also think Netflix is likely to skip again this year for exactly the same reason.
I was always guessing that the last season of GOT would air at the end of the summer, making next year the big blow out. We’ll see, since we still don’t know the air date for it. I think this is year is a perfect storm of off-scheduling, with GOT and Westworld both not returning for a year plus. I also think Netflix is likely to skip again this year for exactly the same reason. And we already know that’s why Marvel isn’t coming. Hopefully cool stuff will take their places, and I bet next year is going to be the return of everything.
